Pet Sitting in Waverley

About: I am currently a 2nd year Zoology student at Aberystwyth University, which has given me a breathe of understanding of the science and care for many different species of animals, Further, prior to coming to University, I worked as a Junior Zookeeper, largely focused on birds, but also assisting with other critters. This gave me an insight into handling animals, and broadened my understanding of training animals, such as training birds to stand on scales. On a more personal level, I have assisted in the care for family pets from a young age, and have taken over the care of many of our pets. This includes: dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, fish, farm animals (such as pigs and chickens) and horses. I have done low level trick training with my current dog, and have some experience with elderly dogs. Being a full-time student, many of my mornings in the week can be filled with lectures. However, I tend to have afternoons and evenings free! I slso have availability all day on Saturday and Sunday. As I live in a flat, I am unable to care for large animals in my flat, as I don’t have an enclosed garden, so ideally it would be easier for me to go to a pet owners home.

About: i have raised a dog for six years, i trained him, walked him and cared for him. dogs love me and i am excellent at adjusting to their boundaries each week i am available to dog sit, walk and house sit. due to the summer holidays my schedule is not too busy so i am widely available. in a pet owners home i would ensure to always be tidy, being my own food/drink, stick to any boundaries they give me and stay engaged keeping an eye permanently on the dog.

About: I have been an experienced volunteer dog walker with The Cinnamon Trust for nearly 15 years and during that time have had long-term commitments with five local dogs and their owners, walking most weekends and some evenings. I also regularly dog-sit for my family and friends with a variety of different breeds and ages, including puppies. I also currently have two rescue cats and have experience in administering medication and grooming long hair. Over the years I have had many cats, including kittens and the most I have looked after at one time is three. I regularly look after our neighbour's house while they are away. I am also a homeowner so would take the responsibility of looking after someone else's home very seriously, including jobs that need doing like watering plants, taking out the bins and tidying up after myself. I don't have any children so have limited regular weekend commitments and can be flexible during the week as I work from home a few days a week. I have my own car. I would want your pet(s) to feel as happy and comfortable as possible while I'm with them so would only accept a booking if I could ensure that I can keep to their routine and carry out the owner's wishes fully. I cannot have pets at my home as my two cats would not take kindly to any visitors but am happy to stay over in a pet owner's home, carry out drop-ins and do as many dog walks as needed in terms of frequency and length - I know the local area very well and really enjoy getting out in nature with a four-legged friend!

“Ciara did a fantastic job with my cat. She visited my home whilst I was away to keep him company, and I was very appreciative of her notes and photos sent. Would absolutely use again and recommend.”

About: Ever since I was young, you could always find me in the dogs bed! With experience in dog sitting for friends and family, to working in boarding kennels and a day care you will always find me going the extra mile and making sure your furry little family member is getting the love and respect they deserve! I am currently studying my Level 2 and 3 Personal Training course, from home! So I am available Monday to Friday all day and the evenings! I like to ensure that I have asked the owner in depth questions about food, allergies, walks, how secure their garden (if they have one) is, and how their pet is with others (If we go for a walk, how friendly are they with other dogs on leads etc).

“Works so well ! Barbara takes everything in her stride , is great at communications and Rupert always bright eyed and bushy tailed when I return”

“Girls were clearly happy with Arabella and communication was clear and easy while we were away. Very happy with the service and will definitely use Arabella again if she is available. Highly recommended”

About: We’re devoted animal lovers based in Godalming, passionate about providing loving care and companionship for your beloved pets. Having grown up surrounded by animals, we’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs and a genuine love for their unique personalities. Our day rate reflects this passion. With rising food prices, utility bills, and overall inflation, we understand the importance of keeping pet care affordable. We're committed to making sure the joy of having a pet doesn't come with added financial stress. My partner, originally from South Africa, has a natural connection with wildlife and shares my deep affection for animals. Together, we truly cherish every moment spent with them—whether we’re exploring scenic walking trails or playing in our spacious, gated garden. We both work from home, giving us the flexibility to adapt to your pet’s routine. Our garden is a safe, secure space for dogs to run, play, and relax throughout the day. After missing the constant company of our own family dogs, we’ve decided to open our home to others. We can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends, and we promise to care for them as if they were our own—with plenty of love, attention, and tail wags. Thank you for considering us to look after your pets! We (Kerry & Steve) both currently work from home so are very flexible. Whilst we are both very active we are also considerate of older dogs who may need more time and rest. We tailor our care to meet the unique needs of each pet, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved. Your pet's safety and well-being are our top priorities. Our home is a secure and trusted environment, designed to provide an stress-free experience for your furry friend. With a large, gated garden and constant supervision, you can rest assured that your pet is in safe hands. We maintain a clean and comfortable space where your pet can relax and feel at home. Happy to send photos.

“Beatrice was extremely accommodating even with last-minute changes, Roamy loved spending time with her and we will definitely be seeing her again in the future :)”

“I was very happy to find Astrid to look after Waffle and Pumpkin during our long weekend holiday. She always sent me photos how they enjoy their stay, asked questions when necessary and it looks like that cats didn’t miss us much as they looked sleepy and relaxed when we came back. Thank you. I would definitely invite Astrid again when we are away.”

I have a very flexible schedule, I work from home and work flexible hours during the week. I’m more than happy to work around your schedules. I live in a very secluded area, I am surrounded by fenced in fields and areas for your pooch to run around. I have a very well tempered dog at home, he is used to socialising with any type of dog. I have a crate available if it’s needed with your dog and separate rooms available.

I offer drop in services for all animals if they just need some attention or feeding when you can’t be there. My experience is with both small and large dogs.
